Pre-Industrial Egalitarians + Industrial Revolution = Current System

Short at 144 pages + references, this is an essay + critical reactions + reactions to the reactions. A good audience would be anyone with a job with interest in history, economics, and labor. The pre-industrial egalitarian ideals and philosophy meeting the industrial revolution and the invention of the firm are covered quite a bit.

It would be interesting to compare the history and thought presented in this book with what happened in other regions that were not colonized by the UK.
